Comment on Ground control to Major Trial: When a $130M aerospace company chooses to endlessly abuse opensource free trials instead of typing git pull, you start to question gravity, or at least common sense.

  For that to have any impact, the abusing company leadership would need to have the ability to feel some level of shame. I honestly believe that most don’t have any ability for that.

    consider the following: they already don’t get money from them and also showing to wide audience that musk (and his people at spacex) is a inept penny-pinching scumbag can be a nice hobby

      Wait this is SpaceX? I thought it was another company tbh, I was under the impression that SpaceX revenue was in the billion at this point.

        Pretty sure the 100s of millions was referring to back in 2015 or so when they started abusing the free trials.

      Oh, absolutely, but it’s still an exercise in futility if the goal is to have any impact on the offending company’s demeanor and course of action.

  Corporations are not people. They don’t have feelings.

  Then they would have needed to do something to publicly embarrass the company; so far they’ve only publicly embarrassed themselves

    Real talk. Open source FREE FUCKING TRIAL‽ Like it’s the very least you could do is close that one obvious, glaring, foreseeable loophole. I mean if they had one half way decent developer, they could’ve just created their own version with an in hours GUI.
